  1. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was done to assess the relationship between SUA and liver enzymes. Dependent variable is SUA (µmol/L) and the independent variable is liver enzymes (U/L). Reference category is SUA quartile Q1. Model 1: adjusted for age (years) and sex (male and female). Model 2: model 1 + BMI and FBG. Model 3: model 2 + SBP, DBP and lipid profile markers. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval.
